Next game talk...too soon?

None: Never heard of Devo, and I hate the Saw movies. For a horror theme, how about "Dead Silence" instead. Awfully good excuse for a talking ventriloquist head on the playfield as a more macabre version of Funhouse's Rudy.

Let Heighway deliver games #1 and #2 and we will talk about #3.

+1

But for the record Devo and Saw are two themes I would pass on in a heartbeat.

Put the devo hat on the saw guy and you may have a winner.

Or a saw guy on the devo hat.

Those two themes make wrestlemania look like Game of Thrones...

Heighway was a breath of fresh air when they did an original theme. It's a shame that people complain about lack of original themes, then spend thread after thread asking for licensed themes.

we should do something about that now shouldn't we?

Alien has way more appeal to me than Full Throttle.

If the theme was a horror genre, I'd much rather see House of 1000 Corpses. I liked the first Saw, but for some reason I don't feel anything for it as a pin.

While I hope everyone enjoys their Wrestlemania, that has got to be near the rock bottom of theme's for me.

Super excited for Alien, though.

Im kind of glad Alien is #2...gives them a chance to work out the bugs from #1...woz anyone?

The Running man
Blade Runner
Creepshow

What about a line of nostalgic golden oldies: Happy Days, Lavern & Shirley, Leave it to Beaver - maybe even a special one in just black and white. You might not be able to sell a Walking Dead pin to place in the posh Country Club's game room but I bet the old farts would find a black and white greyscale playfield of Leave It to Beaver with a white grand piano cabinet finish with silver trim novel and nostalgic. Old money Country Clubs would consider the cost akin to bird seed right? Ha.

Seriously though, with an affordable swap out playfield system - The private collector or home owner only has to invest big once with Heighway - to get the cabinet and pay the big shipping expense. I foresee someday collectors displaying all their extra playfield kits from Heighway mounted one after another in lighted display cases along the walls in their game rooms like art some day. People like to show off right? How cool would it be to walk down into your private game room lit only by the twinkling lights of your playfields your surrounded with. Sic.

Maybe Heighway can offer light box mounting kits with a low voltage power supply to plug into the playfield lights to let them twinkle and be displayed rather than shelved. Well that's it... I'm forwarding that suggestion to their forum. And what self respecting bar owner that buys into the Heighway system wouldn't use extra playfields like that to gussie up the joint?

And what if the demented rich art collectors start buying the playfields at $3000.00 each to hang as pop art with no interest in actual pinball?! HAHAH I keed I keed.

Think about it. Heighway is giving pinball fanatics an avenue to never tire of their machine. The only problem is perhaps with just owning the one machine - not so good for big parties with a lot of people - but perfect for the home collector that only needs to entertain the family. But the playfields are supposed to be swappable in what like 10 minutes or so?

After Heighway is more established perhaps they will be in a position to take on themes with more risk. If one theme is a dud, move on to the next playfield. How many different playfield themes can Heighway produce each year?

Where else can you buy one single pinball machine yet have the potential to spend an unlimited amount of cash on just that one machine? Heighway just may be on to something really big here, not just for the people that route but for the serious Pinhead Collectors.

Resurrecting this thread since it's either that or make a new one, but the theme I would LOVE to see from Heighway post-Aliens is RED DWARF. Yes, it's somewhat niche, but it's also just the kind of sci-fi comedy that would work beautifully in a pin. It's also still relevant as they've announced 2 more seasons of the show are coming soon. Who else would love to see a pin featuring The Boys from the Dwarf??
